Must keep my mouth shut - Sorry Cam!
I was very disappointed to hear about Cameron Donalds accident and injury. All the more so because he wont be at the TT.
Now cargo will confirm that I was raving about his riding while we were at Cookstown.
I said "I forecast that Cameron Donald will win a big one at the TT"
Actually Cargo as of the same mind.
So, why the "keep my mouth shut?"
Well, going back to the 60s and 70s when I watched a lot of racing, especially at Brands and the TT, I became infamous amongst my friends for my "curse"
Simply explained, I would praise a rider "Paul Smarts going well!" only to have him break down shortly after! More often than not, they would actually come to a stop close to where I was watching!
This happened with Paul Smart at the TT and as he rolled to a stop, I moved away!
Now I kno this is superstitious rubbish, but.....
I did actually tell Paul Smart about the "part" that I played in his career
when I chatted to him at one of my TT parties. He took it well and was quite amused in fact. "Oh it was YOUR fault?!"
So, I really am sorry Cam!
Get well soon.
If anyone hears me start to praise...... shut me up!
